I'm teaching a sexual education unit for the 1st time in my 9th grade biology class.

My students knew so little FACTUAL information about their bodies & their sexual health. As we near the end of the unit, I'm proud to have been able to help them become more knowledgable & more comfortable talking about (& asking questions about) sex & sexuality. One of them lingered after class today to thank me for teaching this unit.

My students are the best!

"Get Ready for Global Teaching" is the name of the pilot project developed by the Karlsruhe #University of #Education, which will be launched in January 2025. Together with seven partner universities, the aim is to raise awareness of #global inequality in #teacher training, overcome colonial thought patterns and focus on the challenges of post-migrant societies.

In this new world that is forming, I am going to have to go back to pretending to be Christian. I don't think it'll be too many more years before we see the upending of religious protections in the workplace, as a teacher I can already be fired for no reason at all, I wonder if anyone else feels this way?

My high school #drama #teacher was friends with Carroll O’Connor. Carroll came to our #school. I got to ask him questions. For anyone who doesn’t know me, if you get offended with questions, you probably wouldn’t like me. Mr. O’Connor answered every single one, even some from my dad, he answered them enthusiastically and like he was genuinely interested in the conversation. Before the bell rang he told me I was a “good boy.” When I’m firing on all cylinders, I still believe him. Powerful.

I'm teaching my 5th graders how to use drills and drivers right now. We're going to build a greenhouse and grow some vegetables. I feel like the first proto-human who taught a child how to make a stone axe. This is better than AI. All the 'edtech thought leaders' telling me I need to integrate AI into my curriculum can shrivel up and blow away on the cold cyber wind of 'progress'. I will keep teaching kids to do real stuff and make the world a better place. #edu #teacher #maker #making #fablab
